Question

I am using Group Policy Preferences to configure proxy settings on internet explorer 8 and 9. The server I am using is a Windows 2012 domain controller.

When I Choose to create a new group policy preference in User Configuration -> Preferences -> Control Panel Settings -> Internet Settings and choose New Internet Explorer 8 and 9. If I then choose Connection -> Lan Settings I am unable to
select "Automatically Detect settings" as the checkbox is greyed out.

Does anyone know how to fix it so I can check Automatically Detect Settings.
